Opinions are my own. Profile picture description: Black on white pictogram with a D20 showing 20 for a head and a game controller for a body and arms, holding a white cane.

  • It was a draft PR too

  • And force me to compile on my own computer!? I’ll find out I broke treated features via email, thank you very much!

    this absolute bullshit from reddit

    Jump

  • Reddit was so important in my life, each of these steps is more saddening. I’ve come to realize that that company can’t and won’t make the spaces that matter to us: we were always the ones doing it.

  • Vibe coding is great for MVP's

  • The thing about low code is the successful products in that field have their blocks built by experienced teams. I’ve heard of setting up low code apps via LLMs and that almost makes sense. They can only do as much damage as a bad project manager cosplaying a solution engineer, scrapping the whole exercise isn’t too bad, and they can be a nice demo for the client.

  • feat: Add CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md by numinit · Pull Request #15 · JiaT75/STest

  • I would have thought describing images you post to spaces for blind people would be common sense, but do find my self enforcing rules on that all the time. Rules that are front and center. A real code of conduct formalizes rules, allows for consistent enforcement, and informs minority populations of the protections they may expect. If you don’t need that, I’m happy for you, but you may want to explore the nature of that privilege. Whether or not that’s necessary in the context of FOSS projects depends on multiple factors. It’s certainly not necessarily if you want to be a benevolent dictator for life.

  • Modern Font Requirements

  • Well, it’s not quite that bad, but it takes a special kind of person to send their very obviously visually impaired coworker screenshots instead of plaintext. And I know a few of them.

  • Are you my coworkers?

  • thanks

  • No, registers and bit-wise manipulation. In a Minecraft server running in the browser.

  • thanks

  • With enough zooming, even I can tell it’s the same profile picture. Wow.

  • Work == leisure == pain

    Jump

  • That’s good, but you’re still the perfect of that meme where the stick figure is looking at the computer while the weather changes outside the window. By your account, that is.

    Since it sounds like that’s a source of stress or unease for you, I think you could experiment with a “month of drawing” of “month of evening bike rides” or something like that. I love problem-solving and development, so it’s easy to look for that thrill outside of work too, but you may find a different thrill that gives you more variety and you also find rewarding.

    In my case, I often get away from computers by going out on photo walks. Then I get home and stare at my photos on the computer. Hehe. It’s good to have that outlet all the same.

  • Work == leisure == pain

    Jump

  • I work from home, most days, so I was doing that while staring at the same monitor and typing on the same keyboard.

    After catching myself on the way to burning out, I was advised to stop working on time and go work out or take a walk - something physical to mentally change modes.

    I agree with all the advice here to get a different hobby or touch grass.

  • Git Commit Creation

  • You saved me a click, thanks.

    Importing esthetic preferences over accessibility tells me a lot about the content…

  • Companies updating their websites

  • [checks personal website]

    Yes, shame on them!

  • How programmers comment their code

    Jump

  • [flashbacks to the backlog being wiped out because “the client already signed off on the release”]

  • Mcafee accidentally made users call the devs of SQLite and complain.

    Jump

  • Wasn’t there a story about people calling curl devs because of car issues?

    For what it’s worth, I’m sure the SQLite devs could help somebody clean up their temp files. They just really shouldn’t have to.

  • Gamedev is Easy

  • I smell a NotImplementedException somewhere.
